An overall goal is to seek a deeper understanding of the conditions of the young person's life, with a certain focus on work, the significance of the work and unemployment and its effect on the life situation on the whole, with emphasis on health/ill health and any afflictions.
The idea behind this is to provide a better basis for understanding, helping and supporting young people. Another goal is to examine and define young Swedish and Finnish people outside of the labour market and their view of health and lifestyle.
